New York production company After Hours Films has issued the following announcement about shooting a death metal documentary:

"At After Hours, we’ve recently come across a group of artists in Syria, who together form a band known as Netherion. This band has been able to persevere in the face of extreme diversity, successfully recording and releasing one album despite never playing together.

"Against all odds, Netherion have been able to achieve a measured amount of success through social media. They currently have over 3,000 likes on Facebook and 160 followers on Twitter. Aside from that, the band has also received positive reviews from online outlets such as Nocturne Magazine, Brutiful Metal Radio, Salute Records, and Metal Storm.

"Oppression happens everyday all over the world and Netherion represent the latest example of the extreme prejudice. Their early success is a testament to their fortitude, and now we are in the process of helping them take the next step.

"We have begun the process of getting the band out of Syria so that they can freely pursue their passion without fear of prejudice. We want to help them achieve their dream of touring and to spread their message to the world-wide audience. With escalated tensions as a result of the civil war in Syria, time is of the essence.

"As After Hours Films, our role in this process, is to record and document Netherion’s incredible journey from imminent danger to the stage."
